Special Olympics Florida - is seeking volunteers to serve as volunteer coaches and sports volunteers

Coaches are the key to a successful sports experience for the Special Olympics athlete. As a coach, you teach sports skills and model good sportsmanship and character. You give Special Olympics athletes the most immediate awareness of their self-worth, ability, courage, and capacity to grow and improve both on the playing field and off. Coaches will be provided training and sports seasons run for 3-4 months.

Volunteers are needed throughout the year to assist with putting on practices and competitions. These volunteers do everything from assisting with administrative work to keeping score at competition to handing out lunch and awards.

We rely on more than 38,000 volunteers throughout the state each year who serve as coaches, help with events, assist on committees and so much more.
